Default Re: Sklansky\'s Intelligence Weighting as it Relates to God

[ QUOTE ]
Is this like saying there is a 50/50 chance you will flop a set (either you will, or you won't)? Or is the existence of God (or Gods if you must) really 50/50? Either the chance exists or it does not.

[/ QUOTE ]

Presumably there a god or not so the chances of god existing is 1 or 0. The question is whether there is a rational reason to believe god exists or not. If the most intelligent are unconvinced either way then by the previous post being unconvinced is right.

Doesn't mean there isn't a god. Many intelligent people (including the religous ones) recognise there is no convincing reason to believe there is or isn't a god - hence it requires faith.

I appreciate you people having patience with me. Obviously, I'm not in the intelligent camp, but I like to contemplate these things in my limited capacity.

[/ QUOTE ]
No need for that, I am unconvinced I am more intelligent than you.
